sealant

Evening all, We have recently bought and I am planning on retiling our small bathroom with white metro tiles and plain white grout at a spacing of 2mm. Although there are threads on here covering beginners they are from years ago so wondered what the latest products you'd recommend are? So...

Finally got the beige porcelain tiles clean from black grout. Apparently I should have used a sealer/impregnator on them before grouting and to help clean them more easily in the future???? If so, what make would you recommend? Thanks

I asked this in a different section, but did not realy get the answer. I have tiled a shower recess, using grey grout. I will Silicon the corners in grey, should I also Silicon between the tray and the bottom tiles in grey, or should this be in white? is there a best practice for this, as I've...

Hi all I have a job lot of x60 tubes of CT1. x40 White and x20 Clear. These are the new style with the red/green Eco Compliant sign in the top corner of the tube. Price = £400 The listing is for all 60 tubes and works out to £6.67 per tube, which is very good value. However, if you require...

Hi all. I've got a job with these fore-mentioned terracotta floor tiles and wondering which inpregnating/sealing method you finds easiest/least hassle. It's been 17 years since i worked with the stuff! I'm considering the lithofin modern method. All input appreciated. Many thanks.

Anyone on here used any Rocatex products? In particular, their decoupler and sealant. Thanks in advance

Hi I recently moved into a new house where the grout needed replacing around 1-2 tiles in the bathroom. I scraped out the old grout and put new grout on top. After about 2 months that new grout is now cracking. Since nothing else has cracked I assume it's not because of movement so could it be...

Hi, Not sure if this in the correct forum as it is not strictly a tiling question however I will soon be ready to start re-fitting my skirting boards after tiling most of downstairs :hurray: and I was wondering what is the best adhesive to use to stick them back on? It is a new house so they are...

I was recently asked to remove & replace the Silicon sealant around a shower tray. When I got to the job I found that apparently it had been leaking through to the ceiling below. Not surprising I thought when I saw the cracks in the floor of the (big) tray. I pointed out that there's no real...

Hi all, I have recently had an Indian Sandstone installed in Oxfordshire, after some thought I decided to seal it, we have parties, we have kids and I have clumsy other half. I waited for around two months to see if there was any obvious signs of Efflorescence, I then washed the patio down left...

Hello to all, I need to replace about 10% of broken quarry tiles on an external step, the new ones i plan to fit don't appear to be sealed. I have three questions. I assume they will need sealed before fitting, if yes what product should i use. Which method / product should i use to fix tiles...

Hi I've looked and looked and I couldn't find an answer. But I'm happy to just be referred to an existing thread if I've missed it. I need to replace the sealant around the bath. But the fact it's against travertine seems to make it tricky. I thought I could just buy any sealant until I...

Hi- I am a new member and this question has probably been asked more than once already. I have just finished ripping out all old sealant , regrouted where necessary and totally replaced the sealant in the shower area. I have religiously taken out all the old stuff and left the sealant to dry...

Hi I've just finished tiling, almost anyway, my bathroom and I'm in a bit of a predicament about what colour sealant to use. The tiles are a dark grey/slate colour, and the grout is black. I need to seal down a shower screen, between two adjoining walls, and obviously along the bath. What...

Hi everyone. After sealing a plasterboard wall with Silicon sealant i managed to get quiet a bit on the surface of the board, my concern is the the adhesive will not stick to the plasterboard. if I have to try to remove it what are my options

Hi I've sealed my travertine tiles with HG natural stone & marble impregnator and when I attempted to silcone seal my bath joint the sealant didnt take/adhere ?? any advice please?

HI guys. Sorry, I know it's a bit of an old chestnut, but wanted opinions on the best remover. My brother helped me out by chipping out all the grout from the vertical corner joints between walls in my bathroom, and then pumping BAL Micromax Silicon in. Made a right pigs ear of it as he didn't...

What sealant do you guys use with stone? Need to seal a cast resin tray against ceramic on one wall and stone mosaic on another. I generally use 785 everywhere but not sure if this will be ok with a stone product. Ta muchly!

Hello all, I had my bathroom done about 6 months ago and so far everything is holding up well...no mould, the tiles are still on the walls etc! The only thing I've notice is a very very narrow gap appearing between the sealant around the bath and my wall tiles. It's probably not much more than...
